A must-have book for all teenage boys!Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Why does my voice crack like that? What should I eat to build muscle? How do I talk to someone I have a crush on? What do I do if someone calls me names or bullies me?Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Growing from a boy to a man is no easy task. Bodies are changing, social circles are evolving, hair is appearing in places it never was before -- and on top of it all, thereP#39;s the ever-present pressure to conform to the typical idea of what it means to be Pquot;manlyPquot; and masculine. But itP#39;s easier to do if youP#39;re armed with facts.Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Using personal anecdotes as an overly observant mother of two boys and plenty of scientific information from her life as a neuroscientist, Mayim Bialik, PhD, star of Plt;iPgt;The Big Bang TheoryPlt;/iPgt;, talks directly to teen boys about what it means to grow from a boy to a man biologically, psychologically, and sociologically.
